Episode 5 - CDC Vaccine Schedule Cuts: What Changed, Why It Matters, and What Parents Should Do

Описание: The CDC childhood vaccine schedule has changed—and a lot of parents are asking the same questions: Why now? What does it mean? Did my child get something they didn’t need?

In this episode, we break down what’s actually changed, how vaccines are approved and recommended in the U.S., why “shared clinical decision-making” can be misleading when it’s weaponized, and why dropping below herd immunity thresholds puts everyone at risk—especially babies and immunocompromised kids.

We also talk frankly about vaccine side effects (including what an allergist actually sees in clinic), how safety is monitored before and after approval, and what you can do next—without panic and without misinformation.

As always: this podcast is educational and not medical advice. Talk with your clinician for personal medical decisions.
